GOLDEN WORDS FROM THAT No
BILE ROMAN.


BILE ROMAN.
Senator THURMAN's speech at the st.
JACKSON banquet at Columbus is worth
writing in letters of gold. Among the
noble sentiments he uttered are these:
1--WE have assembled tonight to do what
we can to reinvigorate the fundamental
principle of our party, to bring about, as
far as possible, unity of sentiment and to
renew our devotion to the union of the
States, and to gather inspiration from the
examples and teachings of the great men,
whose yalor and whose virtues We this
NIGHT celebrate. And what better homage
can we nav to him, who fought, when a
child. to achieve our independence; who
fou0ht. when a man, to maintain and pre-
serve il, and who, when ut the head Of the
Government, and at a dangerous crisis of
our country's history, uttered the ever
memorable sentiment: The UniOn-it
must and shall be preserved, than TO de-
clare. as we do, in the toast just read, that
the Union is the common heritage ofpatri-
OTIS. Some persons suppose that the Union
can be preserved only by the consolidation
of all substantial powers in the hands Of
the Federal Government, thus, in effect,
practically destroying the lOng-cherished
home rule of our State Governments,
which has been productive of so many ben
efts and of so much content. For
myself, 1 am of the opinion entertained by
the fathers of the democracy, that such
consolidation, instead of being preseryative,
would be certainly destructive Of the
Union. Because home rule is the cher
sished doctrine of the Democratic party, /
! think that the preservation Of the party is
almost synonym for the preservation Of
fherty and the Union. think that the
Democratic party is the natural party Of
free institutions, and that it will be in

A PROMINENT Republican Of Marshall
county sends the REGISTER communion
ton on the Senatorial question. This
Republican recognizes the fact that some
Democrat will be elected to the United
States Senate. He says then he is in
favor of ele:ting that Democrat who can
do the most for the State. As Senator
CAMDEN is public-Spirited man, has a
wide knowledge of the needs OF the State
and much influence in Congress, is work
ing for the Interstate Commerce bill and
other measures of great benefit to our
people, and is making wealth with the
great object in view of investing 1t IN
building railroads through our State and
developing it-he regards Senator CAM
DEN as the best man to represent the
State. We are sorry that the length OF
the communication prevents its publiea-
ton.

The inquest over the Baltimore and Ohio
wreck at Tiffin, establishes the fact as
suspected, that the conductor and engi-
neer were in a drunken stupor. This IS
sorry spree and the shrieks and writing
of the diving victims should haunt them to
their graves. Such a temperance lecture Is
very costly. But it will argue moe for
the cause of temperance than dozen ST.

TIE REGISTER is in receipt of cOmmu-
nication from prominent Democrat east
of the Alleghenies, giving reasons why
Senator CAMDEN should be reelected to
the Senate, and stating that he is the choice
of the great majority Of the Democrats OF
the eastern counties. But owing to the
length of the communication and the fact
that the ground has already been pretty
we'll covered, our lack OF space prevents US
from publishing it.

Importance ofselecting those men who can

guising the fact that the fight is going to
be hotly contested, and that the Demo-

AT last "Buttermilk JIM has lost his
temper. The REGISTER seems TO have
sorely disturbed his royal nibs, and in re-
venge he now predicts everlasting financial
ruin for this journal.
Well, Mr.. MASON, the nearest the
REGISTER ever got to financial disaster
was when it permitted You through the
courtesy Of its manager to illuminate your
piratical tax theories in its columns.
Subscribers insisted that they did not
want to read the stuff.
This point ought not to be overlooked in
this connection. The REGISTER is not for
sale and MASON could not buy share OF
its stock for love or money, and yet by re-
ferring to our commercial reports we find
the Democrat is for sale. Is it waiting for
Senator CAMDEN's reelection, to be put
under the hammer and TO be knocked down
to the lowest bidder? For then its Occupa-
ton will be gone.

When the table was reached there
was nothing on It he could eat He
had watched his fathers pigs eat swill
far more wholesome and palatable than
the mess before him. There were
few broken loaves Of dark corn-brcad,
cooked hard, some boiled pork and
leaves Of weeds which they called
"greens."
The helpless creatures grabbed with
their hands, ignoring the few rusty
knives, forks and spoons they had. A
piece of corn-bread which had fallen to
the ground was picked up and given to
the child, but he was really i'll, and
could not eat. His face was flushed
with fever and the pain in his side and
back continued to increase.

her skinny arms. III take him to
bed" Giggling, she bore the little suf-
ferer to her miserable, dirty cot, and
laid him upon it.
"Now you will be well SOON"
"Where is sister Helen? Oh, sister,
why don't you Gomez" cried the sick
boy.
~ am Helen-I am here" said the
idiotic woman, striving to console the
little sufferer.
He fell into a feverish sleep and
awoke at midnight to find all darkness
and silence, save the snoring of the
idiot on the floor, having given up her
bed to him. His fever was raging
high, and he burned with thirst.
"Helen, want a drink! Oh, sister,
sister, why don't you Gomez"

CHAPTER XVII

THE sUFFERISGS IN THE PooR-HoUsE.
The unfortunate beings who are sent
to the poor-house deserve the pity of the
entire human family. They are always
treated to the plainest, coarsest food
and wearing apparel, and frequently
not enough of that. The poor-house is
usually let out by contract to the low
est bidder, and the contractor who
takes it as job tries to make the most
out of his job. Poor-house contractors
are not always humane men. They
often abuse their helpless victims, and
as they get so much per head for every
member, it is to their interest to have
many, and feed them as cheaply as
possible.
In the case Of Bill Jones contract,
like many others, it was, what is some
times called, political job. Bill fur
nished Arnold's man for collector of
revenue all the votes in his school
district, and Arnold, who had elected
the county justice, just as one or two
men sometimes do elect every officer in
their county, had Bill appointed poor
house keeper. We fear the county
justices did not look to the interests of
those unfortunates who depend on them
for the little comfort they require in
this world. They did not study the
physiognomy of those brutal features,
or consider the suffering he might
cause. But they rather considered
whether they would gain the most
votes by appointing him or the benev-
olent-looking man recommended by
his pastor as a suitable person. Preach
ers are not usually good electioneers, and
consequently their recommendations
are hardly ever considered in the dis
tribution of public patronage.
sold Blaze can preach like blue
blazes,' they thought, "but he didn't
help us to our Office, and he can't do
any work to re-elect u.s."
Bill Jones and a gallon of cheap
whisky would carry more votes on
election day than all the sermons Old
Blaze might preach in six months, so
they gave the poor-house, at Arnolds
suggestion, to Bill Jones, whom we
find the proprietor when little Amos
Lakeman is entered, by order of Ar
mold, paupcr. The little fellow sat
for a long time in his hard chair, after
his piteous call for his sister. He was
silent now. Those wretched creatures
had snarled at him like wolves when
they heard him, and it seemed rs if
they had claws with which to tear out
his eyes. He could only groan and
sob, while his flushed cheeks dried up
the tears before they fen. He dared
make no cutlery, though his head was
so dizzy and his side panied him so
much that he could scarcely maintain
himself in his hard seat. He saw other
creatures around in the yard who were
equally rs wretched, dirty and helpless
as those in his room. Bill Jones, with
n large whip more like slave-driyer
than poor-house keeper, was beating
M old man because he could not hoe
in the garden.
"You lazy dog" he Numbered, "d'ye
think we're goin' Ia keep W here like u
lord, aud ye do nothin'P"
"Oh, don't, don'tw cried the old
man, trying IA escape the keen lash of
tho shlpi "Ih report ~. u ~ don't

WILLIE AND LOVE,

Madame, my uelghbor, Is very rich,
Her mansion is large and fine,
Dainties with her are common food,
Her drink is the finest wine.
Our house is small, our food is plain,
TN only girl OF twenty.
But I've sense enough to feel and say:
Willie and love are plenty"
Madame lives on her boarded gold,
She's rich wherever you put her:
Willie trade in his willing hands,
And works for our bread and butter;
In the summers heat, and winters cold,
II weather be fine or rough;
But often say, as he goes away:
Willie and love are enough"
Fine visitors come to Madame's house
They come in every season.;
They dress, and dine, and dance, and ride,
And perhaps without any reason
l envy them now and then an hour,
For I'm only girl OF twenty;
But only an hour, and then l say:
while and love are plenty"
Would give up Willie for Madame's gold
My heart has sudden fear
AT the very thought; and softly say:
Forgive me the thought, my dearr'
For know the worth OF an honest love,
Though I'm only girl OF twenty,
And say TO myself: I'm very sure.
Willie and love are plenty"
Into all lives some sunshine comes;
Some have fashion and wealth,
Some have pleasure and changeable days,
Some have beauty and health.
have husband, tender and true,
Though I'm only girl OF twenty;
Sc look at my ring, and happily say:
willie and love are plenty"
